Strikers captain Matt Short sent the Hurricanes in after winning the bat flip on Tuesday night.
His team will be out to continue the momentum they gained in a brilliant win against reigning champions the Perth Scorchers on Friday.
Adelaide welcome back Australian Test wicketkeeper Alex Carey in a big boost to their line-up, in what will be his first BBL outing of the season.
He will bat behind skipper Short, D'Arcy Short and Chris Lynn in what looks a dangerous top order.
The Hurricanes go in unchanged from the side that threw away victory in a one-run defeat against Brisbane on Sunday night.
They will hope for a similar performance from their bowlers, who held the Heat to 7-132 from their 20 overs.
The Hurricanes (fifth) and the Strikers (sixth) may both need to win all three of their remaining games if they are to break into the top four.
STRIKERS: Matt Short (c), D'Arcy Short, Chris Lynn, Alex Carey, Adam Hose, Thomas Kelly, Jamie Overton, Henry Thornton, David Payne, Cameron Boyce, Lloyd Pope.
HURRICANES: Caleb Jewell, Ben McDermott, Mac Wright, Sam Hain, Corey Anderson, Tim David, Nikhil Chaudhary, Chris Jordan, Patrick Dooley, Nathan Ellis (c), Riley Meredith.
